Arugula and Pear Salad with Goat Cheese

Ingredients

• •5 cups fresh arugula
• •2 medium firm pears, sliced
• •4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
• •1/2 cup candied or toasted walnuts
• •3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• •1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• •1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• •1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• •1/4 teaspoon salt
• •1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. 1Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the vinaigrette.
2. 2Place fresh arugula in a large salad bowl.
3. 3Slice the pears and add them to the arugula along with the crumbled goat cheese and candied walnuts.
4. 4Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
5. 5Divide among serving plates and serve immediately.

💡 Slice pears thinly and dress them just before serving; pear oxidation and arugula wilting both accelerate once vinaigrette is added.
